During rehearsals for Stephen Sondheim's trouble-plagued Merrily We Roll Along in 1981, Field was unceremoniously dropped from the creative team. It wasn't until a revival of Cabaret in 1987 that he was to have another Broadway success.
In addition to his work on Broadway, Field staged such diverse projects as Las Vegas nightclub acts, the 44th Annual Academy Awards telecast in 1972, a Hollywood Bowl concert and television special with Bette Midler in 1977, the opening ceremonies for the 1986 Los Angeles Olympics, and an acclaimed revival of Kiss Me Kate in London's West End.
On February 6, 1989, Field died of brain lesions in New York City at the age of fifty-five.
Ron Rodd said at this point the Committee is looking at schematic A, B and F. Jon felt we should only deal with schematics A and B (with B as an option) and F should be left out of the RFP.
Ron said F was only there for discussion but the Committee should look at all options.
Ron made an amendment that any consideration for a lit field must have public input from the neighbors adjoining the field and others of the public; Bill Dest seconded this amendment.
